Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 財務金融研究所 === 105 === The impact of turmoil in the global financial market over physical economic
activities has become more and more significant as a result of globalization. In Taiwan,
as the birth rate plummets, the demographic bonus has gradually disappear. Mass
production has led to overproduction, and economies have faced bottlenecks in their
economic growths. In the face of strong competition around the globe, adjustment to
Taiwan’s industrial structures is by far too slow to cope with changes in the global
economic environment and the pressure from technical competition. Taiwan in its
national economic development is facing the issue of five deficiencies (lack of water,
electricity, workers, lands, and talents). Also, conflicts between energy and
environment policies as well as issues of workers’ welfare and social benefits have led
to stagnation of the pay structures. Low-pay jobs offered by companies have seriously
exploited workers and the policy of “one fixed day off and one flexible rest day” have
induced conflicts between employees and employers, which further causes more
companies to leave Taiwan. Faced with the downturn of the global economy, people
expect much that the government can promulgate an effective problem-solving policy
to implement economic revitalization programs and improve the investment
environment for sustainable development in Taiwan. Companies are expected to
proactively elevate their competitiveness by engaging in R&D activities for business
innovations and transformations. Germany’s "Production 4.0" may be a solution to
shortage of manpower and pressure of surging costs in labor and energy. Taiwan should
do lots of work to be better prepared for the downturn of the global economy.

Sales of traditional ink paper printing fell by 3.2%, and the production decreased by
2.24%. Sales of carbon powder digital printing increased by 3.9%, and the production
increased by 0.55%. Sales of digital inkjet printing increased by 13.9%, and the
production increased by 0.54%. Sales of value-added services increased by 7.1%, and

in a full recession, but directed towards fulfillment of different market demands instead.
This study aims to find out the crisis and opportunities in traditional industries via
a case study. Only through advancing with the times and searching for the innovative
value in the paper industry can we strengthen confidence in the paper industry can we
find out the best solution for the sustainable development.
